Terry Draper was one third of the infamous Canadian band who the world thought was really the Beatles.
As a young boy, he shared a room with his Uncle who was only a few years his senior & the two would spend a lot of time listening to early rock & roll records together after school. So he was already a fan of the music by the time the Beatles stormed North America on the Ed Sullivan show, & like so many others was inspired by the Fab Four to pick up an instrument.
Having previously played in a bar band with Dee Long & John Woloschuk , he was their natural choice to complete the band Klaatu once they started recording their first album.
A recent inductee into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for his co writing the huge hit "Calling all occupants", Terry has done a lot of things outside the music including being a roofer & general handyman. However, He has never stopped recording new music.
We discuss all this & more during this episode.
